Hopefully I'll get into a big cycloidal drive for my Cnc mill soon all out of steel. I was thinking of making it 300mm dia maybe. I think most 5axis Cnc Mills use cycloidal drives if they don't just have big direct drive servos. On Tue, 23 Feb 2021, 09:28 John Dammeyer, wrote: > I agree.

I agree. Rather a nothing video. Took about 30 seconds to view it skipping past the "these are screws in my hand" parts. And clicking on the x in the advertising that kept popping up. I too would like to build a robot arm to replace the Radio Shack Armatron I bought while on holidays in

The Youtuber is just making stuff to show on Youtube. If he had a specific use-case, then he would have to choose the system. Cycloidic drive can be back driven and have a lower reduction. If you need that, you need that. Harmonics can't be back driven and can have 100:1 reduction. The two are

2021-02-22 Thread Chris Albertson
To add one more idea to the long-running conversation of how to build a harmonic reduction drive. Here is a working prototype that looks like the flex-cup solution is solved. This could work for many years. But the video shows only the idea and a prototype. I would not make this one but
